The conversation shifts to the historical frequency of erratic weather events in the United States, challenging the idea that current volatility is unprecedented. References are made to 19th-century New York Times reports of "raining frogs" and the Mormon locust plague in Utah. Recent snowfall in Las Vegas is presented as part of a long-standing pattern of unpredictable meteorological events.

62: The Greatest Depression

Global Warming, Erratic Weather, Historical Perspectives

The rebranding of "global warming" to "climate change" is discussed in the context of recent record-cold temperatures and snow in Las Vegas. Historical accounts from the 19th century are cited to argue that erratic weather, including "rains of frogs" and locust plagues, has always existed. The hosts suggest that modern weather events are being sensationalized to support environmental agendas.
